A Tale of the Capitolene Venus is a novel by Clinton Ross, first published in 1909. The story follows the life of a young woman named Venusta, who is born into a family of Roman aristocrats. Venusta is known for her beauty and charm, and is often compared to the goddess Venus. However, her life takes a dramatic turn when she falls in love with a man named Lucius, who is not of noble birth. Their love affair is forbidden by Venusta's family, and they are forced to keep their relationship a secret. As Venusta struggles to navigate the complicated social rules of Roman society, she must also confront her own desires and the expectations placed upon her as a woman. Along the way, she encounters a cast of colorful characters, including a scheming noblewoman, a wise old philosopher, and a group of rebels who are fighting against the corrupt government. A Tale of the Capitolene Venus is a gripping historical novel that explores themes of love, power, and freedom in ancient Rome.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
